Everything Bagel Salmon & Potato Latkes
with Creamy Cucumber Dill Salad
- Fish
- Sesame
- Milk

Salmon fillets, coated with mustard and everything bagel seasoning is seared till browned and crusted; meanwhile, shredded potatoes combined with a little cream cheese and flour make a batter that transforms into the crispiest potato pancakes (aka latkes). Serve alongside a cucumber ribbon salad with thinly sliced shallot and dill in a lemony sour cream dressing for a bright, fresh complement.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. • Place shredded potatoes in a medium bowl; cover with 1 1⁄2 cups hot water(3 cups for 4 servings). Set aside to soak for 8 minutes, then drain. Reserve bowl. • Place drained potatoes in the center of a clean kitchen towel; gather into a tight bundle and wring over sink to remove as much excess water as possible. Transfer back to reserved bowl; set aside until ready to use in Step 4.
• While potatoes soak, wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Quarter lemon. Trim ends from cucumbers; using a peeler, shave each cucumber lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you get to the seedy core. Discard core. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill. • Place shallot in a small bowl; cover with cold water and set aside.
• Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Drizzle skin sides of salmon with oil; rub to coat. Flip salmon; evenly spread tops with mustard and sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat undersides!). • Place salmon, skin sides down, on a baking sheet; roast on top rack until golden brown and cooked through, 10-12 minutes.
• While salmon cooks, to bowl with shredded potatoes, add cream cheese and flour; stir to thoroughly combine. TIP: Your hands are the best tool for the job! • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat (use enough oil to coat bottom of pan). Once oil is hot enough that a drop of potato mixture sizzles when added to the pan, use your hands to squeeze 1⁄4 cupfuls of potato mixture into tight balls; carefully add to pan. Firmly press down with a spatula to form patties. (TIP: Don’t crowd the pan; you may need to work in batches.) Cook until deep golden brown, 3-5 minutes per side (reduce heat to medium low if browning too quickly). • Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt to taste.
• Drain shallot; pat dry with paper towels. • In a second medium bowl, whisk together half the sour cream, a big squeeze of lemon juice (we used half the lemon), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Add cucumbers, shallot, and half the dill; toss until coated.
• In a second small bowl, combine remaining dill and remaining sour cream. • Divide salmon, latkes, and cucumber salad between plates. Top salmon with a dollop of dill sour cream. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the salmon's taste, especially with the everything bagel seasoning and mustard combo 🐟.
- Ease of prep: Latkes were challenging; most found them difficult to form and keep together while cooking.
- Suggestions: Consider adding an egg to bind the latkes better; some found success with extra cream cheese or flour.
- Portions: A few mentioned small cucumber salad portions; one suggested using a single larger cucumber instead of two small ones.
- Cucumber salad: The cucumber salad was a hit for many, though some preferred sliced cucumbers over ribbons for easier prep.
Reviews from our home cooks
Cream cheese and flour is insufficient to bind a latke together. Those came out very messy. Additionally, the salmon came out very salty - I would not recommend instructing someone to season the fish with salt and pepper on the surface that will have the everything bagel seasoning added, since you used a variety of that seasoning that includes salt.
Really nice meal. Light, easy to make, the latkes were a little something different for me (outside my norm, but super easy). Salmon was fresh. Good meal!
I do not like salmon. This salmon is really good with the mustard. The potatoes are amazing.
My potato pancakes fell apart so I just cooked a big batch of hash browns. The salmon and cucumbers were delicious
LOVED this new addition. Only wish there was an easier way to make the potatoes, I couldn't get them to hold together to fry.
Unique ingredients, liked the potato latkes & had never made them before.
Potato latkes kind of fell apart but the meal flavors really went well together.
Wished there was more cucumber, salads were small but was tasty
This was fantastic! I think the crispy potatoes were more work than they were worth, but everything else was PHENOMENAL. Please offer this again.
So delicious! Easily one of my favorite meals from Hello Fresh.
